Lightsaber Test 2

*PLEASE READ VIDEO DESCRIPTION BEFORE COMMENTING*

I get a lot of comments with people asking me how I create the effects, but all that information I provide in the description, so please read the video description below if you are wondering, thanks:

This was my second lightsaber test, and the first one to use Ryan Wieber's tutorial (using Adobe After Effects): http://www.ryan-w.com/ryan-w/tutorials.html

And here's the result...

(P.S. Btw I know there's no sound. It's only a test clip.)

I see you're using a Lightsaber model of some sort... but which one, and where can I find it? I have a cheap Walmart one that sucks balls. XP

@iteachvader Qui-Gon Jinn toy lightsaber that came out when The Phantom Menace came out. I took the plastic blade and used fbtravis' tutorial (which I can't seem to find anymore) to install a CPVC pipe into for prop blade use. I'm pretty sure that specific lightsaber toy has been out of production for years, but if you search around eBay or something, you can possible find one.

@0w3nhi I know it's not real. What do you think I am, 5? I'm 16 for god's sake. I know Lightsabers aren't real! i just noted that he was using a TOY model of some sort, and not a plain old rod, or broom pole.
